  • A really nice project. Hope I can migrate all my workflows from MinGW32 here.
  • Works very good, I love pacman from Arch :)
  • Great project, the original MSYS was far from the *nix experience, but MSYS2 is very promising: development is active, a decent terminal emulator and, the best of all, pacman! (yeah, I'm an Archlinux user).
  • A long needed refresh of the old and buggy MSYS. The inclusion of a tried and tested package manager finally provides what Windows MinGW-w64 users have been missing for ages. I hope this project can live long and provide people with a good shell and packaging environment for Windows MinGW-w64.

  • When you will discover Msys2, you will forget Cygwin

  • This is just what was needed. Been trying to use msys/mingw for years and constantly fighting with little issues. I already knew pacman from my ArchLinux days (too many debian servers now ... or I'd still be using it!), and this just worked.

  • I am not particularly a fan of Pacman (mostly because of poor choice of flags - the tool is not made for humans, IMHO), but MSYS2 just rocks!! I appreciate the hard work done by MinGW, Cygwin and MSYS2 guys.
  • GREAT!!! just what was needed!!! msys was to old and difficult to update
  • What an excellent project!
  • Easy to retrieve popular MinGW libraries!
  • The BEST option around, definitely superior (more modern) to other MSYS distributions. Very streamlined with the included mintty.
